Low avalanche danger! Hardness of the old snowpack!
The avalanche danger between the Totes Gebirge and the Schladminger Tauern is rated as low. Isolated avalanche prone locations can be found in the extremely steep gullies above 2400m in the northern sector. The danger of falling is more dominant than the danger of avalanches!
Snowpack
The snowpack surface is usually hard and icy. Below the melting hard crust, the kinetic metamorphism weakens the snow layering on the northern sides. On the sunny slopes, the slopes are bare up to over 2000 metres. There is generally little snow in Styria.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will increase slightly in the southern mountain groups on 24.12.2. Only a little new fallen snow is expected north of the Mur-Mürzfurche, so the avalanche danger will not increase.
